The challenging story of a young person's progress through care,
prison and social rejection to youth justice specialist. It charts
failures to connect with and modify the author's chaotic early life
moving from place to place, school to school, fragmented parenting
and poor role models. Encircled by crime, drugs and baffling
adults, Andi Brierley ended up first in a young offender
institution then prison where he learned to think like a prisoner
for his own survival, making everything harder for everybody on
release. Until he determined to change and others saw his
unenviable past could be put to good use. Shows how small things
can make a difference. Contains many insights for professionals,
students and others interested in young people in trouble. An
addition to Waterside's acclaimed turn around stories, including
Alan Weaver's So You Think You Know Me?, Ben Ashcroft's Fifty-one
Moves and Justin Rollins' The Lost Boyz.
